Haven't seen this type of vehicle built in apocalyptic theme before. Nice idea and execution.

Italeri Land Cruiser. The military one with the gun. I'm not going to build full engine. Instead I will make huge turbo to stick trough the bonnet. Parts Box resin turbo added to scratchbuild manifold. Exhaust pipes made from styrene. Tyres are from Tamiya Mitsubishi Pajero and rims are either Fujimi on Aoshima ones. Color will be Zero paints Subaru blue. Scratchbuild intercooler. I'll build also a some sort of box for dry ice, for drag race use. Scratchbuild Optima battery and fuel tank.

Maybe smaller wheels. Those slicks look too big. Otherwise looking good. You've got the shape right.

I just mixed acrylic color to the diluted glue. Works fine.

Those all look awesome. Do you mind if I copy the left one?

And the Ready pics.

Revell '49 Mercury -Engine changed to Pontiac 400 cid, with custom injection system. -Manual gearbox reguired a stick shifter, and clutch pedal. -Detail parts from wrist watches -Front bumper upside down and installed lower.

Suspension is held together with "head pins". That how they are labeled. They are 0,8 mm thick, and I found them in jewelry section in hobby shop.

Yes. It is a Heller Mercedes. It was in bad shape when I got it, with other junk. Two halfs were glued, but needed a lot of sanding and filling.

Here is my current project. So far i've scratchbuilt chassis and front suspension. Rearaxle and suspension are from some truck. And so are the wheels and tyres. And here is the a mockup of the project. That's 1:24 Tamiya mechanic wondering how long the hot rod is. Car itself is a mix of 1:25 and 1:24 parts. AMT Allison V12 sitting at the front. And truck gearbox.
